It is said there is a good chance
that the senate judiciary committee,
headed by Ashurst of Arizona, will
report unfavorably on the measure
in so far as the proposal for in-
creasing the membership of the Su-
preme court is concerned. The other
parts of the President's plan, de-
signed to expedite the work of fed-
eral courts, do not meet with much
opposition.
Probably the scheme will be sep-
arated into several bills; and indeed
that already has been started, for
Representative Summers of Texas,
chairman of the house judiciary
committee, introduced a bill provid-
ing for voluntary retirement for Su-
